It’s amazing how entitled these people are. She was the person who read out Mangos lies. So now she can run for prez.
like normal people, I went to a few drag shows in the 90s … it was big in the Pasifica community and so one of our fav bars had acts and a DJ in addition to techno, hip hop etc. Mostly it was fun in an OTT way. @Sounders78 can explain the culture better. As I was there for the music I didn’t pay much attention but it is remarkable anyone could be threatened by it.
Well, her dad did run for it as well, so she's continuing the tradition of keeping it all in the family. I suppose more than anything this was her bid to be the orange idiot's running mate in 24. I'm thinking the he will be pleased with her performance. A Trump/Huckster ticket is just what the Republican Party deserves.
That's just it, the people who are threatened by it are usually the people who are insecure in their masculinity or their sexuality. Otherwise there simply isn't anything there - it's entertainment by some extremely talented people who dawn a "mask" and have fun, as people in various cultures do all over the world. It's a more-regular form of Carnival in some ways. I remember being at one show in Seattle almost 20 years ago and a half-Indonesian/half-Egyptian drag queen was performing a Christina Aguilera song in a dress that would be considered minimalist for a woman. Some guy walking by the bar looked in the window and just pressed his face into the glass - he was obviously quite aroused by the very attractive danser. It must have been a minute later he realized it was a gay bar and a drag show. His expression was classic - the sudden realization he had been lusting after a male. He literally took off running down the street - probably to go beat up some random gay guy to restore his masculinity. As you say, it's over the top, and it should be. It's camp. Ironically, televangelists and especially their wives would fit in really well, if they would only stop and look in the mirror. They are often way over the top, the wives wear enough makeup to make a drag queen blush, and their hair adds another 12 inches to their height. When all is said and done, drag queens aren't the ones beating people to a pulp, unlike the homophobic Christian males who are threatened by them. Not the link I wanted (I wanted John Waters's character with the great quote: "it's camp! the tragically ludicrous or the ludicrously tragic"). But I love the vogue-dancer at the end of this one and the "hot stuff coming through". For me this episode has some of the great Simpsons lines. And to think it almost never got made because (supposedly) of a homophobic censor at Fox.
Indeed - that is a good comparison. This was the time of Priscilla which was a huge hit amongst the corporate kids and they loved to camp/vamp it up after a few drinks. Indeed a few of the hetero guys never needed to be asked twice about an opportunity to get in drag. The 80s retro bar was popular for the same kind of reasons
That was fun to see Biden rope a doped the whole GOP at SOTUS. They really didn’t see this coming and what smacked them ! Masterful.
She did learn from the master after spending a few years being the mouthpiece for a pathological liar and sociopath.
dawn a ‘mask’ as in ‘woman face’? you really are hung up with straight guys needing to be attracted to drag shows ? maybe your guy was just parked at the commissary and ran off to get his car? how much time will I need to read all these excuses and explanations for how these drag shows are ok? be as cause it’s already getting a little wordy
Lol no way. "She has the face of a dog and is even bigger than me. Definitely no Ivanka. Like a 3 on a good day. I like that Kari Lake. Spunky and keeps herself in shape. Great with the cameras. I'd go with a 7.5"
The WSJ spent 8 years during the Reagan administration writing about how important it is for a President to be optimistic. I mean again and again and again. These people think nobody will remember what they said, so that when they throw their alleged beliefs over the cliff for the sake of convenience that we will not notice. Ummm ... about that.
Case in point ... “I call it a dog.” The Morning Joe hosts can’t believe that a moron like Trump was ever actually really president. (Video: MSNBC) pic.twitter.com/Qd7br18jy2— Mike Sington (@MikeSington) February 7, 2023

These clowns laugh at him now but gave Trumpy a ton of free air time and helped normalize the POS. They're execrable
Sounds about right Slightly off-brand for me, but here's some not-so-bad lip reading for everyone curious about this exchange #sotu2023 pic.twitter.com/LWVsztFowW— Bad Lip Reading (@BadLipReading) February 8, 2023
Grandpa Joe's ranking as ATG prez continues to go up Kaz is correct. It really is as if your elderly Dad had to come and save the day after you fcked up real bad and let Fashy Marg and Donny Mango smear dog shit all over your new apartment while your wife was out of town "I’ve never seen anything like it in a State of the Union speech – they ran at him like a pack of lemmings and, with a wink and a grin, he politely directed them to the cliff."

Dude - have you seen the Silver Sisters on IG Holy FAWK Holy ********, did I really post that Oh well
More you got involved with some sketchy friends that your parents and a few friends warned you about.
Rats: it stops short of the next scene at Moe's Bar: Moe, after Homer laments over a beer that the steel mill was gay: "Geez, Homer, where have you been? The entire steel INDUSTRY is gay!"
